| TEACHING FELLOWS | Jerusalem, Haifa, Netanya, Mitzpe Ramon, Be'er Sheva | 10 Months | College Degree | 1,750 shekels (~$500 USD) | Appropriate for most applicants | Our core and most popular track, appropriate for most applicants.

Experienced Teachers are placed one per school and work more independently in collaboration with an Israeli English teacher partner. The goal of this track is to integrate certified teachers from abroad into the Israeli education system. Experienced teachers are also eligible for a larger monthly stipend. |
| TEACH FOR A SEMESTER (TFS) | Be'er Sheva | 6 Months | College Degree | 1,750 shekels (~$500 USD) | Appropriate for most applicants | TFS is the solution for prospective Masa Israel Teaching Fellows who prefer a shorter six-month English teaching opportunity. TFS is based in Be’er Sheva, Israel's fast-growing Negev Desert metropolis, and Fellows work with local middle school students there. |
| STEM TRACK | Be'er Sheva | 10 Months | College Degree in STEM | 1,750 shekels (~$500 USD) | Joint focus on English and STEM studies | A multi-disciplinary track that encourages excellence in English and science studies. This track is open to applicants with a STEM degree and a lot of motivation –a background in education is a plus, but not a must. STEM Track Fellows teach students between the ages of 10-12, dedicating 2/3 of their time to STEM and 1/3 of their time to English. Our teaching methodology incorporates project-based learning (PBL), meaning students will apply their English to create projects on STEM-based topics. |
| SPECIAL NEEDS | Be'er Sheva | 10 Months | Relevant Degree or Experience Working with Special Needs Children or Adults | 1,750 shekels (~$500 USD) | Lead social activities for youth on the autism spectrum | Our Special Needs Volunteering track (ALUT) is an opportunity to volunteer in a center dedicated to helping Israeli youth and adults with autism. MITF volunteers will lead social activities while providing crucial individual social, emotional, and life skills. Members from ALUT’s team will work with the fellows to pair them with small groups of participants and connect them to the ALUT community. |
